ABSTRACT Norway is the largest hydropower producer in Europe and provides currently 96% of domestic electricity supplies. Hydropower is a renewable and climate friendly source of energy, but causes an impairment on local environmental conditions, recreational use and aesthetics in and along impacted watercourses and lakes. Around 70% of the larger Norwegian watercourses and half of the country`s total water-covered areas are regulated for hydropower production. By 2022, up to 430 hydropower licences will come up for revisions to implement the European Water Framework Directive in Norway. These have considerable potential to increase environmental and aesthetic conditions in Norwegian watercourses. We examine the decision-making of five completed licence revisions by means of document analyses of all relevant written sources, showing the content, methods and procedural qualities of the revision process. Despite case-specific differences, there are significant commonalities which form the basis for recommendations. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) can be used to improve the documentation of physical impacts and value judgements in hydropower decision-making processes. We analyse the perception of main interest groups with regards to the use of MCDA in future revisions. There exists a rather strong resistance to using MCDA due to a variety of political and regulatory reasons.

政治约束下可持续自然资源管理的决策——以修改挪威水道水电许可证为例

摘要 挪威是欧洲最大的水电生产国,目前提供 96% 的国内电力供应。水电是一种可再生且气候友好的能源,但会损害当地环境条件、娱乐用途和受影响的水道和湖泊及其沿线的美感。挪威约 70% 的较大水道和全国一半的水覆盖区都受管制用于水电生产。到 2022 年,将有多达 430 个水电许可证需要修订,以在挪威实施欧洲水框架指令。这些在改善挪威水道的环境和美学条件方面具有相当大的潜力。我们通过对所有相关书面来源的文件分析来检查五个已完成的许可证修订的决策,显示内容,修订过程的方法和程序质量。尽管具体案例存在差异,但存在构成建议基础的重要共性。多标准决策分析 (MCDA) 可用于改进水电决策过程中物理影响和价值判断的记录。我们分析了主要利益集团对未来修订版中使用 MCDA 的看法。由于各种政治和监管原因,使用 MCDA 存在相当大的阻力。多标准决策分析 (MCDA) 可用于改进水电决策过程中物理影响和价值判断的记录。我们分析了主要利益集团对未来修订版中使用 MCDA 的看法。由于各种政治和监管原因,使用 MCDA 存在相当大的阻力。多标准决策分析 (MCDA) 可用于改进水电决策过程中物理影响和价值判断的记录。我们分析了主要利益集团对未来修订版中使用 MCDA 的看法。由于各种政治和监管原因,使用 MCDA 存在相当大的阻力。
